I think we came one turn away from winning once. That was pretty wild. Usually we get wrecked, so it’s good to hear your experience is better. I do wonder if different player counts are easier/harder. We’ve always played at 4.

Every time I’ve played it, it’s come down to a knife’s edge. It always, *always,* feels like we’re dead…until someone figures out an ingenious way to chain together character abilities and equipment cards that will let us escape by the skin of our teeth. I’m extremely impressed that it manages to be such a close game every single time. And I love that that it always makes me think we’re going to lose even though we end up winning the majority of the time. We get to have the “spectacular miracle victory” experience almost every time we play, and somehow it never stops feeling like “I can’t believe we won!”
